ANNIVERSARY 1976-77 Preface )HNSTOWN adds one more monument to mark the hope and trust which the City places in the young man and young woman. :• At the immediate base of a beautiful, forest-clad hill, beside the graceful curve of the river, in the geographical and com- mercial center of the busy, prosperous city, Johnstown has builded this monument. From its windows may be seen, in brick and mor- tar. the manifestations of a throbbing life and of an achieving people. It is at the heart of potential action, removed from the din and clamor that would distract, yet in the atmosphere of dynamic activity. In such an unique situation there is opened and dedicated an Oppor- tunity School asking the question-- What are your needs? and giv- ing the answer-- Such needs will be satisfied so far as possible. Anticipating some of the needs, this building is equipped for prepara- tion in higher efficiency in service in the professional school or col- lege. in the shop or office, in the home or at the mill. Wherever man meets man to serve or wherever a task is to be per- formed. this school is an opportunity. This Preface appeared in the booklet honoring the dedication of the new and modern Johnstown High School in the fall of 1926. Kevin Rozich—President of Student Council, presents a certificate to Principal William Grove in honor of our Fiftieth Anniversary. Looking on are John Zemet— treasurer; Mike Lingenfelter—vice-president; and Debbie Coby—secretary. 7
